[00:14] <Slick666> Hey all, I have a wierd install problem I can't seem to find on any of the forums
[00:14] <Slick666> I just did an upgrade
[00:15] <Slick666> and my blocks used and blocks available in df don't agree
[00:15] <cjwatson> that happens when you have deleted files that are still in use by running processes; it may well go away after a reboot
[00:15] <Slick666> df shows that I'm not using all my 1k blobks but still I have 0 free
[00:15] <cjwatson> that said, this channel is more for initial installation ...
[00:16] <Slick666> I've rebooted a coulpe times
[00:16] <Slick666> I've also deleted files after using rm
[00:16] <Slick666> the used blocks reduce but I never get any available
[00:16] <cjwatson> oh, there's 5% reserved for root
[00:16] <Slick666> Ive also forced an fsck but I'm stuck it seems
[00:16] <Slick666> ah
[00:17] <cjwatson> sorry, I thought you were talking about df and du disagreeing
[00:17] <Slick666> yea, that what I keep comming up with on google
[00:18] <cjwatson> you can adjust the reserved percentage with tune2fs's -m option; see its manual page. I don't know offhand whether you can do that while the filesystem is mounted, and would be inclined to recommend using recovery mode to change it if you need to.
[00:18] <Slick666> ah, yea your right
[00:18] <cjwatson> but bear in mind that if you reduce it too much then you'll have fragmentation problems
[00:18] <Slick666> I don't remember that being set before
[00:18] <Slick666> cool
[00:19] <Slick666> I think thats what was causing so many things to go wrong
[00:19] <cjwatson> you probably just didn't notice - it's been set by default forever
[00:19] <Slick666> probably
[00:19] <Slick666> thanks for the heads up
[10:34] <RicardoPerez> Riddell: Hi! I recently noticed that an old Ubiquity issue has reappeared in the Kubuntu 9.04 installer (only in Kubuntu, not Ubuntu). It's bug #225876. May I need to reopen it, or to open a new one?
[13:01] <cjwatson> RicardoPerez: please file new bugs for recurrences rather than reopening the old one; it could well be a new underlying cause with similar symptoms and it gets pretty annoying when people reopen ancient bugs for that kind of thing
[13:02] <cjwatson> just refer to the older bug in the description
[13:02] <cjwatson> if it turns out to be the same bug, we can mark it as a duplicate, which is a lot easier than trying to split out stuff from an existing bug
[13:02]  * cjwatson goes to do weekend things
[13:07] <RicardoPerez> cjwatson: ok, thank you very much!
[22:47] <ashen_sharuga> Hey I see this is a channel for the development of ubiquity - so maybe this isn't the place to ask questions about not being able to install ubuntu?  if that's the case can you point me to a place that can help me.  I've been able to install numerous distros on my computer.  But just recently I tried to install and tryout Jaunty.  I'm able to load the liveCD, it can 'see' all the partitions under the Places menu, however whe
